Vĩnh Long Aims to Complete About 20,500 Social Housing Units by 2030

Vĩnh Long Province plans to build about 20,500 social housing units from 2026 to 2030. The provincial People's Council has approved an adjustment to the local housing development plan, targeting about 1.34 million square meters of social housing floor space, equivalent to 20,508 units, by 2030. To implement the plan, the province has designated 38 sites covering about 300 hectares and plans to publicly invite investors.

Vĩnh Long Vice Chair Nguyễn Trúc Sơn said housing demand has grown since the provincial merger, as officials and civil servants have relocated and workers have concentrated around industrial parks. The provincial government hopes social housing projects will meet the housing needs of low-income residents and workers, while also addressing construction quality and what residents can afford.

Dương Văn Phúc, director of the Vĩnh Long Department of Construction, said the province is advancing 14 social housing projects totaling 7,336 units. In October 2026, another 42 units at the Long Đức Industrial Park social housing project were completed and accepted; 138 units across the province have entered use since the start of 2026. Four other projects with investment policy approval are completing legal procedures, while two large projects at Hòa Phú Industrial Park are seeking investors.

Vĩnh Long also plans to prepare land, advance land acquisition and cut administrative processing times by 50% to facilitate construction and attract private investment. The provincial government expects to mobilize about VND 332.213 trillion for housing development across the province by 2030, with the vast majority coming from funds outside the state budget. This financing plan covers housing development provincewide, rather than social housing alone.
